Description

Thanks to everyone for voting and commenting on this suggestion. Your input in the comments helps us understand how this affects you and what you're hoping to accomplish with Bitbucket Server.

This suggestion is currently under consideration by the Bitbucket development team, however we're not able to provide a timeline for when it will be resolved. Learn more about our process here.

One idea we're considering is to show a snippet of the main README file in the repository as the repository description, and also indexing README content to facilitate repository searches. What do you think? Please leave a comment below.

Original request description

On project pages, where all repositories within that project are listed, there is no description column (like there is a description column for each project on the frontpage of Stash).

With the fixed hierarchy of only two layers (Projects-Repositories) proper categorisation of repositories can become cumbersome, and providing descriptions against the listing of repositories would help significantly.
